That's correct, though. Most of the time I can't express my arguments here because I don't know how to put them in words and my english is pretty bad.
>>
>>34053169
>>34052513

Often when I'm in an argument I get emotionally overwhelmed due to my autism and find it difficult to articulate my thoughts precisely. Many pressures weigh down on you to perform adequately in an argument as failing to meet any of them likely results in you being perceived the loser. The type of people that are guilty of this perception are likely unintelligent as they rely and depend on extraneous factors to 'win' arguments even if they aren't actually right.

The Greeks wrote about this sort of thing a lot, you know. It was the difference between Sophistry and Philosophy. One person doesn't know shit but can be articulate and eloquent and so 'wins' the argument while the other one is wise but doesn't have the nice pretty talking skills to win a debate. Socrates called it 'cookery', in that it was a skill that made nice things but had no substance or meaning.

some people aren't worth the effort

plus, some people are delusional and make an argument when there is none to be had. you can't reason with insane. just nod and walk away politely lol :)

just nod and walk away politely
or let them think they've won*
:D

also if i have lots of things to do i'm sorry but i'm not going to argue over the internet with an anon that literally does not matter. especially if he's so goddamn retarded it's impossible to talk with him. plus you don't care with he thinks / don't want to get to know him, so in fact, not only am i not that deeply invested into showing you i'm right, i'm going to MIA cause i have life to attend to

letting you run your mouth doesn't mean you've won. it means you have time to and others don't. also they don't care. your opinion doesn't change the world.
>>
>>34052513
I know this feel tho
It's easy to assume from the outside that they're bullshitting you and trying to legitimize themselves with nothing to back them but when you're actually that person it's very frustrating. I mean obviously the solution is to not have an argument until you can properly articulate it, but sometimes the idea is unique or pressing so you want to get it out ASAP.

It just sucks though when you think about how many really awesome thoughts and stories have fallen silent because those who had them didn't have the talent or strength to express them. They probably number in the millions if not billions.
>>
>>34054496
>didn't have the talent or strength to express them

in many cases, it has nothing to do with talent / strength.

sometimes "to lose" is to win ;)

let them think they've won lol how do you think housewives feel with their husbands or sons? you pretend like you agree or you amicably come to a standstill, but you allow them to think what you want / don't say anything further since you know it'll get into a bigger argument and you're wise enough not to waste your time. this isn't just about opposite sexes, but with anyone. not everyone has to beat the other into the ground to know they're right. sometimes saving your precious time is even more satisfying. they're worthless.

and when i say "to lose is to win" - it used to be an ancient proverb, vaguely translated so hoping it's correct in english. but think of a situation with a Boss vs. Employee

yes, the employee can argue for hours and btfo the boss and explain why the boss is wrong, but sometimes it's better in the long run to shut your mouth or nod / not be so focused on winning the small things, because in the big picture, what they think doesn't matter. it's better for their ego if they think they've won anyway. who's really winning? lmfao.
>>
i don't need temporary satisfaction of winning an argument nor will i gain any pleasure from showing them light. it's just tiresome and i'm already onto better endeavors

if you're not purposely doing op's pic, something's wrong lol but i understand that part too. it's not always the case, though. :)

I dunno, I come from a position where I mostly prefer unconditional honesty and diversity of expression and thought. I guess I'm taking the simplistic route but in an ideal world everyone would be able to share their thoughts with everyone without having be afraid that sharing their thoughts would somehow derail their plans or negatively impact their lives.

I don't see silencing yourself for the purpose of deception as a triumph at all. It's more of a sign of weakness.
>>
>>34052513
It clearly means that they've won the arguement if you are too stupid to even continue arguing. I fucking hate people who are too stupid to put their thoughts into words.

If you can't reason why you like or believe anything and defend it- that's what stupid is.

yes, but nobody's afraid of sharing anything. perhaps you're a NEET who has an infinite supply of time, but other people don't wish to spend hours arguing with an insolent bastard over a trivial subject. yes, i could put him to rest, but is it my priority? of course not. if i have a million other things to do beforehand, i'll get to that first, then him last (should i even have any energy leftover).

people are perfectly able to place their thoughts into words. it's a matter of whether one wishes to. why is it important to prove something to you? do i need your validation? do i have any energy to explain? do i even care? lmao

if i had to explain to every autist why they were autistic, i wouldn't have a moment to myself.

but who am i talking to? all you faggots revel in starting 4 hour facebook youtube wars over "i fucked your mom last night" so lmao keep arguing dumbass. you look pathetic vehemently trying to get your point across, when you don't even understand what you're arguing. some people refuse to stoop that low.

also what's sad is i was kinda going through this lately

like if the person you're arguing with is a fucking degenerate piece of trash, not only could you fuck up their logic, you could fuck their entire lives. especially if they're not self-aware.

so either you go all out or you don't say a word. that's just me though. if you've lost all credibility and i don't want to associate with you, should i be evil and tell you who you are? ( let alone prove you wrong.. ) -- or do i save my karma and try to ghost because otherwise i'd probably feel bad because i'd be telling him the truth?

if part of my argument involves the other person, for example -- if someone who wasn't born with arms and legs tries to argue about knitting techniques using long fingernails, do i tell this person or point out that he/she doesn't have arms or legs? hands and fingers for that matter? because perspective is also important. and some people don't see the small box they're speaking from.

or if a 0/10 loser beta virgin is trying to give me "romance" advice on "how to game", and i'm surrounded and flooded with chads and top celebrities who go after me? do you really think i should just shut him down via logic ? because for him to say that type of stupid shit, he really doesn't know who he's dealing with / who he is. do i tell him his advice doesn't matter because he's fugly, has only dated bottom of the barrel landwhales, and low-value females? i could, but then i might hurt him. so instead of doing all that, i'll just try to 1) wrap it up nicely or 2) pretend he won (or let him think he did by not going back and forth until the subject's dead) so i don't have to dish out the truth.

if i was a chad and some lowly virgin who stutters in front of his own mom tried to argue with me about sex advice, yes i could win and on top of that point out that he's a fucking untouchable virgin who wears teletubbies shirts, but is it worth me destroying someone's feelings? hm :( depends.
>>
for the sake of argument, yes i'd tell them
>if i was going to burn all bridges, fuck yes

but if they're a friend, or someone you don't want to do like that because they've been nice to you, it's best to just keep quiet. otherwise you might say something you'll regret lmao :( (only kind people have this worry. shh)

not reading a manifesto by a random virgin

it depends on the q, context, debate

whatever it is, i don't care about the opinion of some people. i'm sorry but if the guy in pic tried to argue with me about what fashion looks best on a girl, would i really care? would i even want to be there? discuss anything with him?

>no offense to that guy if he ever sees this, but really.

if my style was featured in international magazines with your favorite celebrities, my peers are designers & creative directors at y3 / celine / adidas / - insert top brands which are too intimate to share atm because its a small niche, but leads the culture / what people lust after - .. designers who create visuals for every mass media piece you see incl. music videos and lookbook campaigns... do you really think i would give a fuck about what some hellokitty shirt wearing neckbeard has to say?

i'm sorry but fuck the fuck no lol fuck *cringe*

it's terrible to think about, but it does happen. some people don't have the credibility nor the right to talk about a subject they know nothing about. if he likes cargo shorts and mlp wear, fine. but please don't try to argue with me about fashion because you and i have different, irreconcilable values and perspectives.

you have to qualify to argue

he has 0 credibility for who he is
and why would i waste my time trying to 'win'?

who he is is a loser period

he might argue for 10 hours thinking he's winning about why __ fashion is best on women and why ___ is the prettiest, but has he even been in a photoshoot? has he ever been in any shoot with the top sought-after models, where you're the stylist or you share the same knowledge as the stylist / designers / brands? no... he doesn't even know what fashion is.

i'm sorry but you can't argue with autists. better keep quiet instead of crushing their existence
>>
>>34056333
Okay?

I'm saying his existence would invalidate the old platitude "There's someone for everyone, you just have to play the numbers game and at least one out of x girls will say yes." that Chads with Adonis genetics spout.

>perhaps you're a NEET who has an infinite supply of time, but other people don't wish to spend hours arguing with an insolent bastard over a trivial subject
if you didn't want to have an argument you shouldn't have engaged in the first place. you can't just try and correct someone and then say "lol not worth my time" when they carry on the argument
>yes, i could put him to rest, but is it my priority?
so you've got time in between those "millions of things" you're doing to correct someone, but then all of a sudden you're busy when it's time to respond?
ultimately, if you aren't able to form an argument that the other anon can't poke holes in, you can't claim to be all mighty and busy when they do. it's the same as when tumblrinas call someone out then yell "it's not my job to educate you" when they get a response.

If your argument was 100% correct, you should be able to show that succinctly because obviously the evidence is on your side. if you can't do that, then maybe your argument wasn't all that correct and you're just refusing to accept that, claiming the moral high ground because apparently you're too busy to respond.

in all honesty, sounds like you've lost a lot of arguments and this is how you justify not having a response to yourself.
>lmao you think i've got time to respond to your post that proves me wrong? try again kiddo i'm a busy guy

w0w some people live a different reality than you?! lyke imagine having 100 friends I R L and knowing 1 anon from 4chan. this 1 anon is ugly as fuck, rude, annoying, psychotic, delusional, and a total sperg.

HE creates an argument out of thin air, not me, and i don't even want to argue. he's retarded and makes up shit that isn't real, and when i respond to his original contention, he gets bitter. what started off as a comment will turn into an argument....

previously/meanwhile, all my 100 friends are trying to get at me but i talked to the sperg momentarily because i had a second when i was procrastinating. instead of responding to my actual friends, i got overwhelmed with the normie life and responded to the sperg (even though he's last on the priority list and the one person i don't know).

he responds with argumentative manner.

it's not that i suddenly have to go because "lol how convenient im super busy!!" but i'm literally swamped by irl people, who i actually know, who actually care about me and i love, who have been dying to talk/see me for ages, and there are more repercussions for leaving them on read than some fuckwad i don't have interest in talking to.

if he decides to argue, sure, i can either get to him at some point or let it linger since it's not worth it and i'm obviously busy.

but fuck off if you think people deserve to be put first during an argument lmao

i'm sorry but if i talk to that anon for 1 second out of procrastination and shitposting, why do i owe him and not the 100 other people my precious time? giving him a sec was a mistake in the first place, you're telling me i should continue to ignore my friends and wait until we're completely done? i'm sorry but that's not how it works; normies and lovers come first, and i could care less about proving some youtuber on a niche channel or an anon wrong.

when you have lots of friends, you have to keep balance. you can't talk to one person for days on end because there's 2348203498023948 other people waiting their asses off.

why the fuck would HE have priority? he'll be addressed and i'll finish arguing (if i decide to even) once i'm actually able to.

and not only that,

If you didn't want to argue you shouldn't have made an argument desu, do you think your opinion is immune to criticism?
you also talking about a worst case scenario, and that isn't even what this thread is about, stop moving the goalposts. no ones talking about you arguing with a sperg who literally doesn't make an argument, the thread is about people like you you claim they could btfo anyone but they can't articulate it. that means you can't btfo anyone. then you justify this to yourself by saying "oh i'm so busy" and "oh my argument totally destroys his, shame i can't put it into words!"
btw, if you somehow can't put the words in your head onto the screen then guess what? you don't have any words and you've deluded yourself into thinking that you have.

thus BEING SILENT IN AN ARGUMENT =/= LOSING

you could be the bigger person as you're saving their feelings / future, how they think of themselves, and keeping quiet. words can't be forgotten. i could care less about his approval / winning an argument / what he thinks of me but i don't think i'd feel good knowing i let him know what i did. it's not that it would be wrong, objectively or factually, but i'm also not the type of person to hurt people who've been kind.

even if it frustrates me to no end, i want to cut this person off and not even HAVE them as a friend because they're so fucking stupid and deluded, the dumb moral side of me (which i don't know if i should crush) keeps telling me not to. it's actually harder to keep quiet than it is to argue, in certain cases such as this.

Honestly, the most confusing part to me is the idea that one can win an argument. What do you win, who's the referee? I know there's a highly-stylized theater called debate (contests) which has a scoring system, but I don't think that's what people have in mind. I'm pretty sure the "winner" is just the person who feels the most sanctimonious. Which, in any case, Tumblr and 4chan users seem to have in infinite supply.

Subject A: 200 pound landwhale

>is slim, toned, has VS figure, 100 lbs

so who wins the argument? if subject A argues that she's right and her words trump mine, and i simply decide not to bother because i don't want to point out how obese she is or that the men she's dated are all beer chugging dungeons & dragons fanboys who wear ketchup-stained overalls to the club, am i losing?

>i'm not talking about the thread
then why are you here?
>using a different scenario that is somewhat tied to lack of speech
again, a completely different scenario. the point of the thread is that if you can't articulate your argument, then no matter how much you try to convince everyone you do, you don't have an argument.
you said this isn't true, and tried to explain how you could just not want to hurt someones feelings, but as above, this means you don't have an argument. now you're going back and forth because surprise surprise, you don't have an argument anymore, so you keep bringing up irrelevant shit.

This is a real problem, though. For Stacy it's a cop out because she can't come up with a reasonable argument anyway, but for some of us we just can't organize and articulate our thoughts well enough to present our argument. It extends beyond arguments as well. For example there are things I know perfectly well but I'd have a lot of difficulty explaining or teaching these things to another person. This is probably a terrible metaphor but imagine a chaotic and unorganized room. If it's yours then you know where everything is, no problem. Someone else looking at it just sees a mess.

>so who wins the argument?

The problem is the form of the phrase "men like (blank) women." It's a generalization, and every generalization is flawed.

If a fatty has had success with men, in her experience, there are men who like fat women.

If a model has had success with men, in her experience, there are men who like model women.

But saying "men like" kind of suggests "ALL men like", because men is plural, it suggests the entire category at once, rather than "more than one man likes..."

If people would stop talking like that, if people would qualify what they say more, "In my experience, I have met men who liked my fat body" or "In my experience, I have met men who liked my model body" there would be less arguments. If someone says that, are you going to say "no, you didn't experience that?"

Arguments often arise when a single person attempts to speak for more people than themselves. In reality, people speaking about themselves is more likely to be accurate than people speaking about others, although people can still lie about themselves.

If more people spoke in E-Prime, which eliminates "is" or "be" verbs, which tend to make opinions appear as facts, there would be more clarity in speech, and maybe less arguments:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-Prime

>The E-Prime versions communicate the writer's experience rather than judgment, making it harder for the writer or reader to confuse opinion with fact.

>Kellogg and Bourland describe misuse of the verb to be as creating a "deity mode of speech", allowing "even the most ignorant to transform their opinions magically into god-like pronouncements on the nature of things".

That's the problem: deity mode of speech. As in: Men like (blank) women.

However, if something is true over half of the time, it's safer to say. For example, men tend to seek out youth and beauty in women. Women tend to seek out success, power, and money in men.

Well, someone with autism who's never had sex may not be able to speak from personal experience, but they may have read study after study after study about interpersonal relationships, sexual attraction, studies that measure what women want using surveys and plethysmographs, etc.

On an anonymous imageboard, you can't appeal to authority, because anybody could be lying about their experience.

However, citing evidence does often make people take an argument more seriously.

However, some say that people make decisions emotionally first, and only later to facts and evidence factor in.

>We push threatening information away; we pull friendly information close. We apply fight-or-flight reflexes not only to predators, but to data itself.

>We're not driven only by emotions, of course--we also reason, deliberate. But reasoning comes later, works slower--and even then, it doesn't take place in an emotional vacuum. Rather, our quick-fire emotions can set us on a course of thinking that's highly biased, especially on topics we care a great deal about.

And with studies, people can also point to experts.

A guy who's slept with 500 women may have a lot of experience. But would his experience necessarily translate or extend to any man on Earth? Not necessarily. That's why science favors repeatability: if you test a theory hundreds, thousands, hundreds of thousands of times, you can't prove it's true but it does establish probability.

1. do i prove this kiddo wrong by supplying him with whatever proof to show how 'busy' i am, and how hundreds of people do wait on me? who i am compared to the sperg in question, posting my argument, or shots of my accomplishments in magazines and identity?

or wait.. what's worse: thinking of the effort/time it'd take for me to go and screen shot every single thing, send it to my computer via phone, post it here and wait for the cooldown limit, and wait for some other bullshit he'd spew after getting btfo?

do you think people of importance (speaking at the initial subject of celebrities, who will always have doubters online) care about timestamping for autists? no. think about why v^_^v

being reduced to arguing with trolls online, let alone responding to their baseless arguments, is petty. it's trivial. for someone i cared about, maybe? but even then - it's quite rare, and it would depend.

Well I do agree with the second part. Salespeople train themselves in persuasion.

But as for a great idea, was it nonverbal to begin with? There were no words involved?

I mean, I don't think all ideas have to arrive in words, but unless someone is like, tripping balls, I'm having a hard time seeing how someone has a great idea outside language.

Now, if someone is on an English website and English isn't their first language, I could see their difficulty putting their idea into words. And maybe some people have a hard time summarizing their thoughts, bringing it all into a coherent whole.

Or maybe the "great idea" wasn't really so great afterall. Maybe they haven't thought it all through, considered all the consequences.

Like getting a tattoo. It might seem like a great idea at the time. But will it still be considered a great idea years later?

If you can't express your own argument well enough, you need to just concede and then work on improving your understanding. The more you understand something the easier it is to explain, and the more context and experience you have with the subject, the more comparisons you can make to support yourself. You may technically still be in the right, but it's still a bad sign when you can't argue something you "understand", and it's perfectly valid to say you have lost an argument because you couldn't express your arguments well enough.

>>34058090

A lot of times it's easier to say something wrong, then actually research and gather evidence and explain why something is wrong and say the truth.

It's a million times faster to just say false things. Correcting misinformation can be a time sink. But once correct information is found, it can be used again and again.

However, I have a feeling you are talking more about people stating their opinions as if they are facts, and people speaking for others, when people should probably stick to speaking for themselves.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-Prime
>For example, the sentence "the film was good" could not be expressed under the rules of E-Prime, and the speaker might instead say "I liked the film", "the film made me laugh", or "the film has value".

And you think that actually causes them to change their behavior? I feel that porn is bad for me, but I still fap to it. Our fundamental drives and emotive core don't shift because of some pesky facts. Roasties, for example: Their feminism is a justification for their hedonistic tendencies. They aren't hedonists because they adopted the feminist ideology. They engage in hedonism because they can, and found feminism was a useful justification. Simply pointing out "ew gross I'd never marry a girl with a notch count higher than 5" as an attractive Chad would do more to stop their behavior than any amount of numbers and stats.

rhetoric > dialectic

I assume we're on the same side politically, so this is a "truth" you should really look into. It's a bitter pill to swallow if you're a rational minded optimist, but its also very powerful and has practical value. The truth is something no one will ever agree on. You have to push your own agenda from a position of ruthless pragmatism.

Some people definitely can have their minds changed with logic and facts (I consider myself one, I've gone through numerous shifts), but they're a small small minority.

anon is trying to start a debate. she was never supposed to talk to anon in the first place, but her bad habits got the best of her and she was acting careless. she decides not to make the same mistake twice / fuck herself over any further, and leave to study. it's not like talking to him his enjoyable, anyway.

does her leaving have anything to do with the argument? no. it has to do with the fact that busy people, who are busy before an argument came into existence, are even more pressed on time as the minutes pass and they're not going to fuck themselves over again by doing what they did earlier in the day -- chatting.

you can say whatever you want, "oh hahahaha she left because she has nothing to say LOLLL I WONNNNN" but no, you're just oblivious and selfish.

everyone's schedule has to match your needs and desires, right? you demand when to talk about something and if the other person has to go, they're automatically losing? lmao. you're the master pulling the strings of the universe amirite?

because if someone decides to procrastinate at 3 PM, they better procrastinate alllll the way until the entire week passes, right darling?! lmao. how the fuck dare they try to accomplish their goals and leave when they really have to go work? when someone else decides to stir an argument, and when she decides she has to get her shit done, have no connection whatsoever.

stop thinking everything resolves around you
stop being selfish and assuming what your ego wants u 2 believe

goodnight gollums

It depends what the goal is.

What's the point in changing the behavior of a used up slut? So she can "settle down" in her mid 30s after her rounds on the cock carousel?

Even a Chad accepting a girl with a Number 5 is being a cuck. That's five flavors of semen that have been on her lips. Five flavors of semen in her mouth. Five flavors of semen on her cunt, if she ever wants to get eaten out again.

No hymen, no diamond.

No, charts are there to redpill people on a) the truth, and b) so another generation can know the truth and not keep perpetuating nigger-level degeneracy.

Roasties can just be insulted for being roasties. They'll call that "slut shaming", but you can point out that yeah, sluts should be shamed, there's a reason every woman has "anti slut defense", because they all know it makes them look bad, for good reason.

For the same reason nobody wants to drink out of a Coke can that 20 guys have jizzed on, even if someone washed it off.

>What Trump did in that screenshot was post an infographic with inaccurate statistics and "factchecking" media jumped to correct him

Or someone could post the truth in the first place, and fact checkers might go, hey wait a minute, oh shit you're right.

>comparing people in relationships letting things go because sex is on the line, to people arguing on the internet

Look, if someone gets mad at you on the Internet, it's not like they're not going to fuck you for a month, it's not like you're going to see them everyday, it's not like you'll be in closed quarters with them.

Imageboards and most Internet forums in general are full of total strangers. The consequences for pissing them off (anonymously anyway) are less than IRL, when you have to see someone everyday.

People having sex in a relationship have something to lose when they argue. Then you could probably rank in Facebook.

But the people who have the least to lose are people are anonymous forums. So yeah, they may fight tooth-and-nail to win an argument, because it eventually becomes about personal ego and pride at that point.

Well you had enough free time to type all that out...

You undermine your own "I'm so busy" argument, when you reply.

Do you know what "voluntary" means?

Did you know that most electronic replies are voluntary?

he's right though, i'm alright at thinking on my feet and i can often "disprove" someone else's arguement in real life even though i know there are major holes in my argument, it's all about spontaenity.

Only on Tumblr. If you can't articulate thoughts into an good argument then you shouldn't be having debates with other people.

There are time limits on debates.
